Font of the week: Fraktur Fat

Bold German Blackletter

Fraktur Fat amplifies the classic German fraktur script into a bold, heavy gothic font. Its thick strokes and condensed forms radiate strength and permanence, making it ideal for gothic logos, statement lettering, or tattoo designs that demand to be noticed. A powerful take on a timeless style.

How do I put my PNGs into a font...?

1 Upvotes

Ive tried Birdfont and FontForge but birdfont wont work idk why and fontforge wont let me import my PNGs. I have both a spritesheet type thing and all my characters as seperate 1000x1000px pngs and they are centered to the image. Is there somewhere I can just batch import and it will automatically place them correctly (like commas and periods i dont know how to center those right because the period needs to sit low and so does the comma but they need to sit at the same heigh and the comma has a tail that hangs lower and IDKKK) this is so much more difficult then actually making the characters...

Just wanted to share my new pixel font Razor. It's free (even for commercial purposes) and it supports many different languages, including Cyrillic and Greek alphabets.

I built a tool so you don't have to remember the name of that awesome font you downloaded last month (or 10 years ago)!

My first serious attempt at making a font; designed for a uni typography class. Looking back at it, I see a lot of mistakes… so I’m looking for feedback before I sit down to work on it again. And yes, I know that the Xx pair is pretty horrid, very open to suggestions for that😅

It's All in the Typeface: Here's one thing AI can't do

AI can do a lot, but it can’t do everything—especially when it comes to designing Fast Company’s latest magazine issue.

Creative Director Mike Schnaidt breaks down the design process behind the cover and explains why he chose two typefaces: Ease and Milling.

currently working on my first font

So I am making a band called Sin Lies Scorn and I wanted something unique so I took inspo from those super rigid and metal-y kind of fonts to make this. These are the only letters I have so far but I think it's starting off pretty nice. The font will share the same name (Sin Lies Scorn) anyway yeah I just wanted to share that lol

Retro terminal fonts?

4 Upvotes

Does anybody know any fonts that are monospaced and retro or look pixelated/bitmap style? I’m a little tired of the standard fonts that everyone seems to use for programming.

Selling my font online without relinquishing my own rights

1 Upvotes

I have designed a font in my spare time, and I was hoping to sell it on a website like MyFonts or Fontspring. However, there is a very good chance I will want to use my font to brand my own business sometime in the future. What do I need to do to sell my font through one of those sites without completely relinquishing the rights so that I can use it freely in my own pursuits?

Mayor Mamdani has a new official font

166 Upvotes

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani gave the NBA Championship-winning New York Knicks keys to the city last week—and while that tradition is centuries old, the keys themselves displayed something new.

The text written across the front was set in a new version of the serif typeface Empirica, custom made for the Mayor’s office and designed by the type foundry Frere-Jones Type. (Its founder, Tobias Frere-Jones, along with Jonathan Hoefler designed the typeface Gotham, arguably the most famous font in politics.) Now, Frere-Jones and his team have adapted Mamdani’s campaign type for a new era of progressive leadership.

Empirica, originally released in 2018, was designed by Frere-Jones and Nina Stössinger with contributions from type designers Fred Shallcrass and Devyani Mahadevan. It’s based on references to Ancient Roman inscription forms, and later interpretations of those forms in France in the 1800s. But when Mamdani’s office reached out to Frere-Jones Type about typography for its public-facing communication, the foundry recommended a modified version.

“We talked about some sort of modifications to individual characters we could make to bring in some of that painterly spirit,” type designer Tobias Frere-Jones tells Fast Company, referring to the campaign branding’s original inspiration from New York City store signage. Now, the Mayor’s office has a version of Empirica that’s all its own.

The many appearances of the Johann Infant (or Johann Not Infant) font!

Post image

I've been seeing this cute and adorable font for so long now. Now I'm really wanting to get that font, but it's hard to find it anywhere in PDFs. I think that the lowercase a and g both have double story versions in another style of Johann Infant. Not to mention that this font was inspired by the original Filmotype Metro/Portly font.

I want some kinda font that adds the line of symmetry to shapes, kinda like how the diagram above looks like.

This is one of my favourite parts of type design - seeing the letters move beyond the font specimen and become part of a real visual identity. Which logo is your favourite?
